I had no idea what Loops was. Nice I guess, though short form content is just not something with which I want to engage.

Would you say you were..... out of the loops? 🌞 😎
ripcord@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 305d
No. No I would not, dad.
Cris_Color@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 305d
Yeah, short form content isn't really my cup of tea either. I'm glad it exists though :)

I don't mind short form, but I loathe vertical videos. But I guess these days those are basically 1 in the same.

I believe they have - announced a few weeks ago.

I think someone told me in another thread a while back discussing loops that at the time it was only like certain libraries and whatnot? I wasn't sure if that was still the case, or if that person was right, or what 🤷♂️
I'm not an especially technical person so I don't really remember details though 😅

No they were right - but now it's the whole server so people can stand up their own.
Cris_Color@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 305d
Nice!! Thank you for filling me in, I appreciate it ☺️

Would be nice if they could work on their iOS app. Right now it’s functionality is so bad I dont even want to use it
KeenFlame@feddit.nu · 8 pts · 305d
Is this real? Seems like pretty strange data. Maybe it's displayed wrong?
troed@fedia.io · 13 pts · 305d
It launched without being decentralized and without federation. Might've been a mistake.
KeenFlame@feddit.nu · 3 pts · 304d
But it can't be right that twenty thousand users stop like the same day? It's gotta be some error
Cris_Color@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 305d
Weird...
tpyo@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 304d
To be fair..
I did the thing where I signed up and got the app and promptly never used it
I don't particularly like short form content (at all) but I was hoping that there'd be some relevant connection between the platforms
mrdown@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 300d
The app look like an alpha or less. Barely usable
KeenFlame@feddit.nu · 0 pts · 300d
Still 31k don't try something if that is true
mrdown@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 300d
You can't know how good an app is without trying it first. After trying it , I found out that is it at best an alpha and I stopped using it
KeenFlame@feddit.nu · 1 pts · 299d
No, it has actually never happened that thirty one thousand users tries an app for 3 months then stopped on the same day. You might reevaluate
mrdown@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 299d
This app is the worse app I ever tried . Like I said it is at best an alpha. Why would anybody use it when I can't search by keyword and the app only suggest 3 creators?
KeenFlame@feddit.nu · 1 pts · 299d
That also does not explain this graph
mrdown@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 299d
Why? If the app is so terrible naturally people stop using it
arox@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz · 8 pts · 305d
Its nice to have choices.
ekZepp@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 305d
Nice.

it'd be cool if their android app could get updated. and they fix the feed from just showing you the same string of videos constantly.
other than those two things im sure it will be awesome.
Bo7a@lemmy.ca · 6 pts · 305d
I have been doing some uploading there for a few mths. My biggest gripe is that they support 60 second videos, but anything over 15 seconds (for me) never finishes uploading.
I have seen the repeats too though.
Nima@leminal.space · 3 pts · 305d
I see a lot of these threads praising loops and i have never been able to use it effectively despite my efforts. =( and I have really wanted it to.
I am curious about the length restriction as well. I wonder if these are all things they're going to address and fix. but you'd think they'd have done all that before making announcements and whatnot.
mrdown@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 300d
Or implementing the fundamental feature of searching videos by keywords and hashtags

I appreciate this. unfortunately Loops imho is lacking too many features for me to try again at this time.
but its nice to know an app is getting updates now!
